Update on Syria revolution -The other side of the coin ignored by the main stream news

#Syria|Iranian and regime important redeployments ahead of US attacks

Media sources in the countryside of Damascus confirmed that two convoys of Assad forces withdrew from 1st division in the city of Al-Kiswah towards the capital Damascus. The sources believe that the convoys have evacuated senior Iranian officers and officers of the Hezbollah militia from their base established within the First Division where they have etablished their operation headquarters, along with important moves from the regime positions in Jamraya, Qassiun and strategic locations during the past 24 hours.

The air observatories in the north of Syria confirmed yesterday that they have detected a large movement of the regime’s aircraft and forces from the airports of alSyn, Dumayr and T4 towards Hmeimim and Nairab airbase in Aleppo and Damascus International. They said that instructions reached the entire AF to change their deployment sites, as the regime seeks to transfer its jets to the Russian base in Hmeimim in Lattakia and Nayrab military airbase in Aleppo and Damascus International Airport in order to spare them from the expected American strikes.

Donald Trump telegraphed his move for days, so he wouldn’t be directly responsible for hurting any Russian personnel not attacking U.S. troops. Iranian and Syrian regime militaries also benefits from this. Trump does not understand that those within the Kremlin are no better than Assad.

At the very least, Assad’s regime will be too occupied to do major air attacks for the next few hours. Then again, he may retaliate against civilians.

“By telegraphing our punch so early, you give the Syrians the opportunity to harden themselves as a target and you give them the opportunity to have more time to think through what our potential response might be… [and] how they in return might try to fight back against it.” – former U.S. official about Trump’s warnings

Netanyahu compares chemical weapon use by Assad to the German Holocaust, and Putin is told, Israel won’t accept Iran’s military build-up in Syria.

“Rather than go deep into Douma and get bloodied badly, a chemical weapons attack was used to sow terror among the population from which Jaish al-Islam draws support… The tactic worked, and Assad will soon rule over Douma… Assad needs every operation to be low casualties, or his army will not have the numbers to move on any other rebel controlled areas.” – Syria analyst Nick Heras

“They were faced with the prospect of a very ugly extended fight in this built-up area against a pretty tough and experienced enemy –- Jaish al-Islam –- or using chemical weapons… works quite well in breaking morale and causing panic behind front lines.” – analyst Faysal Itani (of Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East)

Assad regime continues to offer meaningless denials and rhetoric.

Aside from the article, Assad feels emboldened to punish anyone for challenging his rule, and he hasn’t faced consequences yet for his actions. It is easy for him to do something, then at the same time have a false alibi that he doesn’t benefit from it, when he does, because he expects to get away with it again or he knows Russia was ready to defend him politically. Assad’s denials are starting to sound like OJ Simpson’s.

Russia is running their propaganda on the internet hard trying to sow doubt, because Russia and Syria are no military match and it worked well before. This is why it is foolish to telegraph intentions so many days in advance.

The Kremlin relies on information warfare to continue war crimes on the physical battlefield. Without support, rebels cannot fight off Iran, Russia and Syrian regime alone, and civilians suffer.

Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?” – Trump (tweet)

Assad’s regime should have been bombed by now. I hope it comes, but no one can be complacent thinking it will happen.
